Starbucks released its quarter-earning report last week, which showed that the coffeehouse giant fell short of its estimated profits. During an analyst call, CEO Kevin Johnson revealed Starbucks’ strategy to lift sales is to shift focus toward developing more plant-based beverage and food options.

That’s right. Starbucks will work to add even more vegan options in the future! According to Business Insider, CEO Kevin Johnson told analysts, “Plant-based beverages and alternatives [are a] big area of opportunity for us, and our customers are asking for it.”

As the popularity of veg eating continues to rise, this should come as no surprise. Earlier this year, a survey by Harris Poll on behalf of the Vegetarian Resource Group found that 37 percent of the more than 2,000 people surveyed always or sometimes eat veg meals when they go out to restaurants.

As we all know, a little praise and encouragement never hurts, so please take a moment to thank Starbucks and ask for even more vegan menu options! You can leave a Facebookmessage here.
